We want your commitment and action for social justice and a safer climate.
The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology invites you to physical and digital events in the exhibition.
The program in klima2+ is based on a supercomputer, a loom, malaria parasites and works by invited artists and activists. They open up questions about climate change and how our way of life, technology and social structure are connected to the vulnerability of other lives.
First up is The Textile Weave, a panel discussion during the opening event on June 24. The discussion was streamed on the museum's Facebook pages .
When you visit the exhibition on weekends and during the holidays, you are also invited to workshops and tours – and throughout the year you will be able to experience activist events around the museum.
We want you to share your thoughts and knowledge, and participate in activities with us. Together, we can expand the ways we understand and act on the climate crisis.
We take infection control seriously, see how here: https://www.tekniskmuseum.no/smittevern
